Ha Ha Tonka

November 22, 2007

As one of the formidable Bloodshot Records' newest signees, Ha Ha Tonka, named for a park somewhere, rains rock down on the masses like freakin' Odin sending valkyries from a mountaintop. Featuring downhome gospel harmonies and juke joint stomp, these Missouri boys will kick your ass with a fury normally reserved for the Jayhawk football team. So right there you've got state parks, Norse mythology, Jesus Christ, and the Blackwood Brothers. If that's not enough to sell you on Ha Ha Tonka, we can't help you. Turnpike host Tim vonHolten finds religion while discussing dishonesty and male nudity at Plymouth Congregational. Hallelujah!
